Chapter 288 Life-saving Straw
Lin Yi returned home with the children, and as soon as Han Xuewei received the call from the nanny, she hurried back from school.
Lin Yi had originally intended to keep the incident a secret.
But unexpectedly, the nanny spilled the beans to Han Xuewei, who cried nonstop after arriving back home.
"Alright, wife, stop crying. Hasn't the problem been resolved? Why are you still crying? The children, I've already rescued them. Rest assured, I definitely won't let anything like this happen again."
Lin Yi promised his wife that such an incident would absolutely not happen again, but Han Xuewei was only focused on her grief at that moment.
How could she have let her children fall into such danger? It was utterly absurd. How could she qualify as a mother?
"What exactly happened? Why were the children kidnapped? Lin Yi, did you offend someone out there?"
This was the first time Han Xuewei had been so furious with Lin Yi. He was taken aback for a moment, then gently and softly began to explain to Han Xuewei.
He hadn't offended anyone; it was those people who were bad-hearted and jealous.
"But what if the children fall into danger again? They are still so young, husband, we can't let them be in danger anymore. Husband, if it really comes to it, let's move, okay?"
Han Xuewei was a bit panicked; she didn't know how to handle the situation, because she felt that no matter what, it seemed like the children would never be truly safe in the end.
"Wife, don't be so anxious. Aren't we trying to find a solution? If you keep panicking like this, what are we going to do next? Alright, alright, let me handle this matter. I will definitely eradicate all those who targeted our children, alright? Weren't you supposed to have an exam today?
Why did you suddenly run back from school?"
Han Xuewei had just finished the first subject when she received the call from the nanny, so she immediately asked her teacher for leave and ran back home.
"Husband, I know I can't blame you for this, but I really don't want our children to be in danger again in the future, or to be unable to live a good life."
Tears streaked Han Xuewei's face so profusely that Lin Yi couldn't wipe them away fast enough.
Lin Yi could only hold his wife gently and comfort her.
Things won't be that way; everything will get better.
After consoling his wife, Han Xuewei returned to the room to be with her three children.

Lin Yi went out to the balcony, his expression very grim.
He had not expected Director Zhao to be so cunning and to target his children and family.
Initially, Lin Yi had no intentions of troubling Director Zhao, but now things were different.
He only wanted to see Director Zhao's family ruined and him dead without a place to be buried. No, perhaps a fate worse than death would be more fitting.
Meanwhile, Zhao Guangchen became even more frightened after learning that all the thugs he sent had failed.
What kind of person was Lin Yi exactly? The hoodlums he had trained were all very powerful.
He had never failed in any task before, but this time he was helpless against Lin Yi.
"What am I going to do now!"
As Zhao Guangchen panicked, Wang Guixiang gave him a call. He didn't think twice before answering.
He had planned on ignoring this woman, but then he suddenly remembered that Wang Guixiang's family actually had some power.
It could be a good choice to rely on them to deal with Lin Yi.
"Honey, why did you suddenly call me today? Are you missing me? Don't worry, I'll come home after work, or where are you now? I can drive to pick you up, or are you planning to have dinner with me?"
Director Zhao had never acted like this before. Whenever there was a change, it meant he was up to something with Wang Guixiang.
Wang Guixiang snorted coldly—if it were before, maybe she would have dinner with Director Zhao.
But now she had seen through this man and just wanted to divorce him as soon as possible.
However, she still had to complete the task Lin Yi gave her.
"Husband, could you come home for a while? I have some things I want to talk to you about. By the way, has the company been having some trouble lately?"
So his wife missed him. Director Zhao was very happy and immediately agreed to come home.
And he informed Wang Guixiang that he would be home soon.
He told her not to worry, to just cook a nice meal at home and wait for him.
Meanwhile, Han Xuemei was also anxiously waiting for Director Zhao to return, but now Director Zhao had no time to spare for Han Xuemei.
"I'll come home soon. Recently the company indeed encountered some issues, but you don't have to worry about it; it won't affect us."
Still so stubborn at death's door.
How could it possibly not affect their company? He was probably scheming something in his mind.
After hanging up the call, Wang Guixiang did not prepare any food but stayed together with her younger son.
Director Zhao sent a text to Han Xuewei saying he would not return tonight, so she shouldn't wait up for him.
Han Xuewei was furious. She had dressed up so beautifully, ready to seduce Director Zhao again.
After work, Director Zhao rushed home non-stop and saw that Wang Guixiang and his child were waiting for him.
He ran over wanting to hug his son, but the boy dodged him.
"My sweet boy, have you been missing Daddy? The company has been really busy lately, so I haven't had time to come home. I've neglected you, and Daddy is wrong. How about Daddy apologizes to you?"
"Dad, do you have a new family outside? Is that why you refuse to come back? I've seen the news already. Dad, if you really have a new family out there, please don't come back to our home anymore."
Director Zhao was left speechless on the spot; children of today are so precocious, even knowing about such matters.
Zhao Guangchen coughed awkwardly twice, then stopped paying attention to his younger son.
He walked back to his wife's side, trying to take Wang Guixiang's hand.
But she dodged, leaving him wondering what this all meant.
"What have you been telling our child? I'm telling you, all those things outside are misunderstandings, just gossip. As a high-profile CEO, I'm bound to have some rumors, you shouldn't take them seriously, my wife. You're the only one for me!"
Even at this point, Zhao Guangchen was still planning to keep things from Wang Guixiang.
He couldn't truly think Wang Guixiang was a fool, could he?
Wang Guixiang had cursed him countless times in her heart.
"I know, I called you back today to talk about this. The company is having a hard time now, isn't it? I'm thinking about reaching out to my family to see if they can help you out."
